I've had enough of this tanking business, do something and do something now!
All this tanking talk has got to stop, they've got to take the priority pick away. They're handing out a priority pick for being a 'dog' side, the premiers should get a priority pick instead of the teams that come last, it's a blight on the game.
They're trying to equal it up, in China they're not even worrying about Communism anymore, they're just making bad toys.
Saturday was the saddest day I've ever had, there was Kevin Sheedy and his whole family, Hirdy and his family and Scotty Lucas could have made the trip more memorable as he almost snatched a win.
And when Kevin Sheedy was having those photos taken commemorating the end of his coaching career, I cried, I couldn't stop crying, I had to take myself away from the television.
Poor old Kevin went for the Melbourne job and he was told 'nup, get out of it, you're too old.' Will he get the Richmond job? Will Terry be in a bit of strife? I'm starting to think that Terry may be replaced next year and Kevin will take over.
Mark Harvey showed there's a little bit of Kevin Sheedy in him, he decided that he didn't like the West Coast Eagles so he decided to drop six blokes for turning up late to training. 25 years of hatred will evolve out of this one.
The finals are on now, everyone had the Kangaroos at the bottom of the ladder at the start of the year, but they did what they've done most years. They just boil up some Shinboner Spirit, drink it up and now they're playing Geelong, who are a very, very good side.
Big Jonathan Brown kicked all those goals to win the Coleman Medal. He might win the Brownlow and complete the first Coleman/Brownlow double since Plugger. He's a country boy like Plugger and one thing about him is he will celebrate it, there will be drinks had down at Warrnambool, they'll have to close the town off.
There are three finals in Melbourne this year and I've got to the stage now where I'm sick to death of the Melbourne Cricket Club and Ground bowing to the interests of Collingwood, it should be McGuire Stadium! They finished sixth but they still get to play there instead of Hawthorn.
Meanwhile, the Rocca's are all the same, you don't know which one's gonna turn up. I actually think Anthony has got a twin, I don't know where he lives but he's got a twin.
Sometimes Anthony decides to go shooting instead of playing and his twin turns up and plays for Collingwood.
